[image] SKullman: That’s what I did. Harvest Gold EVO, full rebuild with a 45mm stroke rear shock for 120/120 [IMG_6082] Sweet bike and build! I picked up the XO transmission (originally for another bike) but am thinking of putting it on my Evo. I am a bit hesitant though as it comes with…

What’s the return speed of the OneUp like over extended use. Honestly, I can’t see any reason to buy any other dropper post if the V3 OneUp does as claimed. I’ve never heard a single bad thing about them. They seem like the Toyota Corolla of dropper posts. I just never considered them a performanc…

I came from the XX1 AXS on the previous gen Epic w/Brain. It has been great, I haven’t noticed the slowness of the shifts. As for weight, this bike is a solid 1.5 lbs lighter, mostly in the wheels, DT 240 vs 350.

Yeah, right above your post are some links: No articles, just forum chatter and rumors. There are threads over on mtbr forums in the Specialized subforum. But not much more info than ‚my LBS told me this and that‘ [image] 2024 XC Bike & Equipment Thread Equipment going t…

Hmmm, seems slacker than I would expect. Was hoping to see S sizing, but looks like the XL got a bit bigger which might work. Liking the adjustable geo though. I really wonder who would be riding an epic with a sub 66 degree HTA though. With the blur being such a success seemingly so much steeper.
